    2.5 runs but doesn't rev over 1200 RPM

    I bought a 97 Jeep with a junk 2.5l in it. I came with a good used 2.5. I tuned it up and changed the timing chain and installed it. Starts and idles fine but when you rev it up it go over about 1200 rpm and has a little backfire. Any ideas on where to start look for a issue?

    97 2.5l failures?

    97 2.5l failures?

    It looks like it had a intake leak and ran a little lean on one cylinder and the rod came out the bottom of the oil pan. But yeah I thought it was strange also with only 99k miles on it

    97 2.5l failures?

    I just bought a 97 tj with a blown up 2.5l engine. It came with a “good” junk yard engine. I was just wondering and parts I should go ahead and change on the junkyard engine before I install it .
